Sunday morning, 6:30, at the Hwy 20 Hairpin Curve turnout. I (Brian) will probably be there already, since Thursday. Come over Friday or Saturday night and camp with us at Lone Fir or Klipchuck (USFS Campgrounds).
I planned South Early Winter Spire on Saturday and Kangaroo Temple on Sunday (two Basic climbs). I also planned an Intermediate climb on Friday. I'd like to get a group who can stay overnight and climb both Basic routes.
Rock shoes highly recommended. This is not a first climb for the timid.
Review the route description and be prepared for the hanging rappel.
For Leaders Permission, I'd like to know your interesting in climbing 3 days Fri-Sun (Intermediate), or two days Sat-Sun (Basic).
